The SKAM books are the original scripts of the worldwide hit web drama series of the same name, just as they were written.

Each SKAM book contains one of the four seasons that aired between 2015 and 2017. The scripts have never recorded scenes, lines that were later cut, newly written prologues and epilogues, and Julie Andem’s own comments and unique mind maps.

SKAM Season 3: Isak is the story of Isak Valtersen and his burgeoning relationship with Even Bech Næsheim. At the start of his season, Isak is still in denial that he’s gay, but the advances of a female student and his own feelings for Even finally result in his coming out. The process is made more painful by the fear of isolation at school. Isak is also exposed to the issue of mental illness among youths; Even’s instability might be the signs of bipolar disorder. In Isak’s season, the issues at the forefront are love, sexual identity, authenticity, mental illness, religion and friendship.

The SKAM books are the ultimate key to the universe that absorbed an entire generation of viewers. Get ready to get to know Eva, Noora, Isak and Sana like never before.

Psychological profiler Sebastian Bergman has come to terms with the thought that his days at the Criminal Investigation Department are over, and has returned to giving lectures and writing books. The only person from the team he has sporadic contact with is Ursula. He hasn’t heard from his daughter Vanja in four months.

Vanja is not at the Criminal Investigation Department anymore either; she’s found a temporary job as a criminal investigator in Uppsala. Since last month she is investigating a series of rapes, where the offender sneaks up behind his victims, anesthetizes them with a syringe, and places a bag over their heads before committing the assault.

When one of the victims dies, the Criminal Investigation Department is called in – and soon also Sebastian Bergman.

Reunited, the team must set aside their personal problems and conflicts to catch the brutal rapist that continues to cause fear in Uppsala. Eventually, they find clues that indicate that the victims are not randomly selected.

But what is the connection between them? And why do so many people seem to not want the perpetrator to be revealed?
